Penguino Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 whichever ones fat is female. (P.S. I know this isn't a good method but it's all I could think of) Quote
Theangler1 Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Makes tend to have larger mouth-to-body ratios compared to females. Females have much smaller mouths. Quote
Super User Scott F Posted April 10, 2015 Super User Posted April 10, 2015 Except during the spawn when the females are full of eggs and the males are are squirting sperm, there is no way, short of cutting the fish open, to tell for sure. Even during the spawn, not all females have eggs so even then, sometimes it's just a guess. 1 Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted April 10, 2015 Super User Posted April 10, 2015 Males rarely grow bigger than 5lbs so just about all bass over five are females. 2 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 11, 2015 Global Moderator Posted April 11, 2015 There is no 100% effective way without killing the fish and cutting it open. 1 Quote
halochef Posted April 11, 2015 Posted April 11, 2015 in the spring and a bit later, is it true the males back fin on the bottom is a reddish color from fanning while making the beds for spawn? any one notice this? Quote
Super User HoosierHawgs Posted April 11, 2015 Super User Posted April 11, 2015 in the spring and a bit later, is it true the males back fin on the bottom is a reddish color from fanning while making the beds for spawn? any one notice this? I've seen it on large female (I'm assuming because they look full of eggs) as well. Quote
RSM789 Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 When you catch the fish, lay it on the floor of the boat (or on the shore) & set a TV remote control next to it. If the fish grabs the remote and starts pressing the CH+ button, it is a male. If the fish asks you to change the channel because it would like to watch "Dancing with the Stars", it is a female. 2 Quote
